𝔜/n pulled out her trunk from the boot of her mother's car and placed onto her cart. 'You will be going to the Potter's this year for the holidays, won't you?' Her mother asked, standing up from the bonnet. Y/n glanced at her watch. It showed 10.54.

'Yea mum. Shit! I'm late! I have to go. Bye mum' Y/n pressed a fleeting kiss to her mother's cheek before running off with her cart. 'Don't let James's character rub off on you!' Her mother called, jokingly. 'What do you mean? My character rubs off on him!' Y/n grinned at her mother before disappearing through the crowds.

She sped-walked to the very familiar pillar of platform 9 before running through it, emerging on the other side. Y/n took a deep breath before she was immediately hailed by two of the loveliest faces ever. 'Effy! Monty!' Y/n called, running to hug her best friend's parents. 'Oh, darling Y/n! You've grown!' Effy commented, pulling back a bit and looking at Y/n. She indeed had.

'James was adamant on going in with you but Sirius seemed to have pulled him in. You will be coming home for the holidays?' Monty inquired. Y/n nodded as the train hooted. 'Oh! I'd better go. Goodbye. and yes, I will be coming over,' She pressed a kiss on both of their cheeks before jumping onto the train. With a last wave, she walked in.

'Excuse me.' 'Sorry.' She ducked under a chess board and walked around people, opening the door to the next compartment. Suddenly, Y/n tripped over something. Or someone. 'Oh, my god! I am so sorry!' Y/n helped the boy up. She recognized him as Regulus Black, Sirius's younger brother who, according to Sirius, was the devil.

Doesn't seem like a devil to me.

Y/n thought as Regulus picked up her bag for her with a slight blush of embarrassment on his face. 'It's fine.' He muttered before opening the door to his cabin and shutting it behind him. Y/n stood there for a moment, staring at Regulus through the small window.

Regulus looked up from the floor, where he was staring, and saw that Y/n was still there. He fumbled for a second before shutting the blinds. Y/n shrugged and moved forwards. That was, until she fell again.

'Oh, my god! Fallen for me already, Harding?'
The all too familiar voice of James Potter teased.

'I didn't fall! You tripped me, Potter!'
 Y/n shrieked as their friends inside the cabin howled with laughed.

'Oh, shut your traps! or no cakes for you.' Y/n snapped at them. This caused the whole group to close their mouths. 'How were holidays?' Remus asked, scooting to the side so Y/n could sit. 'They were good.' She nodded. Just then James shut the door loudly, which cause everyone to jump and him to start laughing. 'James!' Y/n threw her bag at him. He dodged it. 'Missed me! missed me! now you gotta ki-' James stopped abruptly, which caused Y/n to burst into laughter. 'Now I gotta what?' She pressed. 'Nothing' James turned the color of his maroon tie. 'No Jam, Now I gotta what?' She laughed, falling onto the seat between Peter and Remus.

After the chaos has subsided, Sirius looked directly at Y/n. 'Where were you during the holidays, we missed you!' He cried as Remus dramatically falling to Y/n's lap. 'Mum was sick. I had to look after her.' Y/n pushed the boy off of her. Remus stood up the same time James did, knocking the latter to the floor.

'Sirius, show her what we made.' James said, getting comfortable on the floor. 'James, I saw a cockroach there a minute ago.' Peter said, quietly. James jumped off the floor and onto the seat beside Sirius which made the other three go into a fit of quiet giggles.

Rain pattered the windows softly.

'Okay, okay. Shut it! Here's what we made.' Y/n was handed a scrap piece of paper. With a skeptical face, she looked at her friends. 'Okay... now what?' She asked. 'Touch it with your wand and say, "I solemnly swear I'm upto no good." Go on' Remus urged. Y/n, still confused, brought out her wand and touched the paper. 'I solemnly swear I'm upto no good.' She muttered. The paper softly started to form words and pictures.
